THE BARBER SHOPS
Were in full swing and in the hands
of the coitfeurs were rancid-looklng IN
iividuals, whose tonsures were being
operated on by means OF ordinary
American razors. One peculiarly
connected with Chinese shaving is
that no soap is used, the head being
simply wetted with cold water, and
yet the operation appears to be as
painless as when performed with all
the ease producing contrivances that
American ingenuity has invented.
Occasionally one passed knot OF
Chinese women in thei' quaint ha''lli-

wonted spectacle around. and evident
ly as interested in the visitors as the
visitors were in them. Beyond the
theatre, a description of which must
be reserved for another occasion,
there was little else to attract at
tention, and when one finally left
the enlivened scene and hurried into
the light and glare of one of the
busy American streets, it seemed like
stepping from the realms OF imagina-

prosaic world beyond.
